Signs that we are moving from rule of law to rule of loyalty

What Trump did not have in his first term was presidential immunity. He did not have a free hand to commit crimes while in office. Now that he does, all bets are off. You can bet that someone in the WH is logging a list of underlings that execute Trump's crime orders. This list will be used to generate the pardons on his last day.
He always had presidential immunity as did presidents before him. Did Biden set the bar on pardons on his last day? Underlings using the autopen pardoned themselves.
On Trumps last day he will be turning over the reins to JD along with most of his administration. Bookmark it.
 
Democrats - all during Biden's catastrophe - all of you refused to admit that he had significant cognitive decline. And you were set to vote for him again, without a primary. And you want to talk about the other party being "loyalty based"????????

And pretty much everything you listed here - Biden's team also did.

He wasn't an authoritarian. And that's the topic of the thread.

Not necessarily.

 
Prove loyalty to the mission and with the same vision all on same team. Trump 1.0 did not have that.
They're asking for loyalty to Trump, not the mission. It's why the second go around is filled with nepo hires.

Democrat administrations have that already in place; an auto pen could serve as a Democrat President growing the administrative state using lawfare to protect itself. Cancer fights back.

Ironically, possibly the best argument against democracy, which trump is trying to destroy, is that 'democracy' gave us trump.
Democracy is definitely the worst style of government, aside from the other ones. It's been a long decline, but still a shame to see it go.
 
It is not about distrust. It is about reality. Biden was in deep cognitive decline before he steeped into the office for the first time - you all refused to see it. Just simply wiped your brains of it.
Nothing is accelerating, that already happened with the lawfare against Trump. Anyone who doesn't see that - is exactly what you are talking about.
Trump is using the same way to go after his opponents just like Biden and Obama did.
It is not an acceleration - it is a continuation.
Look at the activist judges. Trying to block every move the President makes. Now over 300 judgments in less than a year!!!
Do you even hear yourself? There wouldn't be the need for any judgments if Trump wasn't crapping on the constitution. Judges don;t even have time for this Trump BS. They're just doing their jobs.
No - what is accelerating is the destruction of our nation.
Stage 1 - Divide and conquer - DONE
Stage 2 - Hatred of each other - DONE
Stage 4 - Violence breaks out politically - happening right now.
Stage 5 - Civil War. Already starting. And no, it won't be armies fighting each other. It will come in the form of states and cities basically refusing to comply with law and making their own laws - effectively setting up their own "country". Happening right now in multiple cities.

We are being ruled by hatred.
We are being ruled by hatred. And its source is the Trump administration.
